BlazeInferno64/Text-to-speech

A simple text to speech program made in Python

Introduction

Ever wanted to make your PC speak?

Fortunately its possible now :)

About

This program needs python to work, So if you don't have it download from here -

https://python.org/download

This example will show you how you can make your PC say,whatever you want!
But-but it wont happen until you install the required Python libraries for that!

Paste the following commands in your terminal before running the program -

pip install pyttsx3 pyaudio

or

pip install -r requirements.txt

Basic breakdown

Let me give you some brief breakdown details about the program!
So, basically first of all lets import some libraries into the script

import pyttsx3

Then we gotta setup the voice otherwise our PC wont be able to speak!

engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty("voices") 
# If you want to see all the available voices on your device
# Use print(voices)
engine.setProperty("voice",voices[0].id) # For example if you want another voices, Set it to voices[1].id 

As we have setup the voice, now lets create some basic functions

# This function would allow our pc to speak
def speak(input):
    engine.say(input)
    engine.runAndWait()

And then -

# Function for user input
def inputCommand():
    textInput = input("What do you want me to speak?:\n")
    text = textInput.lower()
    speak(text)

Lastly lets finish this with -

# Main function setup
if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        inputCommand()

Alright that's it!
Also, you can run the executables made for the scripts from the app directory There are 2 executables

1. TextToSpeech-1 (Its the executable for the first voice)
2. TextToSpeech-2 (Its the executable for the second voice)

Thanks for reading :)
Have an absolutely fantastic day ahead :D
